Reading a book on evernote it states that Non profit organizations (I assume its members) can get the subscription at a 50% savings. Can you look into this for us?

I think it is the same for Microsoft products...

Might be worth looking into...thanks...If I had the authority I would have looked into it for you...

Thanks for your consideration

Found this on an exterior wall in a bedroom.It was on a USDA financed job. I mentioned it could be painted over mold.This caused a huge fuss! The realtor and the seller both said that it was dirt in the paint. Opinions? The realtor also suggested that I was looking at nail pops! Thanks in advance!Attachment 65215

All,

Are you all familiar with water testing as seen here?

Can you provide some pointers from an inspectors perspective. Your opinions are very valuable to us.

Thanks,

In what world would it be okay to do this? This is in the attic by the way.

Do any of you call out form ties which are not snapped off after construction? I mention it but am wondering if I should be more aggressive.

If so, what do you say about them, I'm in need of a comment.

I'm looking at this setup and can't figure what looks wrong to me. It's going to be one of those days.

Both of these are vents, both dry vents, the left one is original and connects to a central basement floor drain, the right one vents a basement bathroom which actually drains into the left one so this is the top of a big PVC pipe square.

Is this a flat vent?
Is the fitting at the top left incorrect?


EDIT: Solved. This is a wet vent and my subject was absolutely incorrect! Supposed to say "can't think".

Gosh, that fool Aaron has got emails of mine that I have never made public, and they have removed their unsubscribe link. Dozens of emails from him last week. I have no love for ESA. Please leave me alone.

Its a Canadian kijiji ad but I will ship to the states no problems.

I also have one older surverymaster - its missing its cap and their is a new front overlay installed--it works 100% and has been calibrated though--$100+shipping for it as well..

On this lovely rainy morning I am heading out to the middle of nowhere.. I am inspecting a 2400 sqft home between Adamsville Texas and Lometa Texas. For you guys in other states this is one of those inspections where you get those great directions. You know..... Catty corner from the pink mailbox across from the field with the big red bull in it..
